Owner’s Manual/Installation Guide – 3
APPLICATIONS
For your convenience, we’ve included several application
diagrams to help you plan your own system installation.
Figures 1 through 3 show how to configure the Kappa 202a
for stereo, bridged-mono, and tri-mode operation.
For system expansion ideas, see the next page.
NOTE: For simplicity, Figures 1 through 3 do not show power,
remote, and input connections.

Figure 1. This wiring diagram
shows a Kappa 202a amplifier
set to stereo to drive a pair of
full-range speakers.
Figure 2. This wiring
diagram shows a Kappa
202a amplifier set to
bridge (mono) to drive a
single subwoofer.
Figure 3. This wiring diagram
shows a Kappa 202a amplifier
set for tri-mode operation. For
a desired crossover frequency,
use the chart to select a low-
pass inductor for the sub-
woofer, and corresponding
high-pass capacitors for left
and right speakers.
